The disease of the peach tree
known as the yellows. was one of the
subjects of discussion at the recent
meeting of the American Pathological
Society, in Boston. Two views were
expressed as to the cause of this de-
structive disease. One was that it
was form of contagion, which may
be ex terminated by destroying all in
fected trees. The other theory at
tributed the yellows to the poverty OF
the soil, due to it's exh austion by re-
peated crops without the application
of fertilizing materials; and those who
explain the malady in this way believe
that it can be prevented by the use of
potash and phosphates on peach
orchards-M Y Ledger.
